    Emergents:From the Latin Emergere meaning “to bring forth,” “come forth,” “arise out of” Lacking proper definitions and words in paranormal research has always been a hindrance to the investigators and generally interested masses. Words like “ghost”, “poltergeist”, and “apparition” are commonly used but usually only due to the lack of better descriptors. As researchers who claim to encounter entities or situations it would be of great benefit for the community to start compiling a comprehensive list of terms and their meanings and in some cases create new and more helpful words where none exist. Creating new things… and words The words “tulpa”, “tulku”, “sprul-pa” and even “egregore” are used in…

    Pages of Strange

    Aside from spending my whole life being interested in all and everything weird I’ve also spent as much, or even more, time with comic books. As a nine-year-old “trouble-maker” my parents once took away and burned my stack of comic books believing they were giving me nightmares. My mother can recall to you, in unending detail, how she actually found me hiding under blankets with a flashlight reading comics like a scene which has become a tired trope in many Hollywood films. Although I was a DC comics kid, with a love of Superman, I also found myself drawn to horror comics. On our family trips up into northern Michigan…

    Broken But Useful

    Over the years I’ve experimented with countless and seemingly endless ways to “capture” sounds and voices which in someway might be created in “another” realm. EVP and ITC experiments have and will be conducted by thousands of people around the world everyday and have been ongoing since the creation of devices able to capture sound. Although I think that what is commonly called “EVP” is in fact a multitude of various perhaps related phenomena, (Read this link), I have ideas that it is in our best interest as a community to not only try new experiments but even break some of our equipment and ideas in order to do so.…

    The World’s Most Haunted Location

    I am very frequently asked by people, “Where is the most haunted place in the world?” My answer is always the same, “If any place is haunted, it’s the Earth.” Now, although many people think that I am trying to be funny, which I am, I am also being serious. So, let’s try a little thought experiment. If ghosts are what people generally believe them to be, (the remaining energy/consciousness of a human being who has died), then each person could potentially become a ghost when they pass out of this realm. I’m bad with math but I can make this easy on myself and you…so hold on. Since human…

    Your Future, For Pennies! Old Tyme Psychic Ads

    Throughout history there have been those self-alleged wonder-workers who proclaim unto themselves the gifts of precognition, telepathy, clairvoyance, etc. The most well known of these are, of course, still spoken of but many of have fallen to the wayside of history either being exposed as frauds or simply vanishing into the ether from which they proclaimed their powers had been derived from. Can someone divine the future or unknown facts simply by reading an unseen energy stream which contains all information? Or are these strange messages brought by spirit beings who exist in some ethereal and timeless world? I don’t know. What I do know is that a great many…

    The State of Modern Magic: Occult Systems & Applications

    It’s more than common for people these days to speak of magic and want to practice magic and almost always they are convinced that they need to burn candles at midnight, with crystals awash in the river water cleared by a full moon. Which is fine. Ha-ha, but practical magic which is practiced everyday and in a far more subversive way, to me is much more interesting. One of the main difficulties in discussing magic and already I have to clarify that I’m not speaking about prestidigitation, slight of hand, stage magic but the more traditional idea of magic as in spell-casting is that as ideas evolve and as our…

    Top Ten Best Worst Hate Mail: Ghost Stalkers

    Anyone who knows me knows I love hearing ideas. I love constructing and exchanging ideas with everyone since I honestly believe it is only together that we will advance as a global family. I do find it fascinating how much time and energy people put into hating things. I don’t hate anything. I don’t have the time to hate and would much rather find where we agree and communicate from that point forward. Unfortunately, some people love to hate. Here is a collection of recent “Hate Mail” I’ve received since the first airing of Ghost Stalkers. I haven’t censored the language so I apologize if your find it inappropriate. Enjoy…

    Ghost Stalkers: Beyond the Show

    I try to be an advocate of people having as much information as possible. With that said here are some notes, thoughts and behind the scenes information about every episode of Ghost Stalkers. Episode One: Whispers Estate What you didn’t see on the episode. Chad and I always do a daytime investigation. None of this was shown. We spent a significant amount of time in the house during the day and seemed to have some interaction with friendly energies. Most of the night investigations. Chad and I are in the house all night. What you see on TV is only the most interesting parts of the night investigations. Chad and…

    Discernible Brains

    Brains. What big wonderfully strange lumps of goo. Brains are, for sure, filled with things like chemicals and electric sparks but there is only consensus among those scientists who study brains that thoughts are located inside of it, and even some of those scientists disagree. I’m not here to debate whether thoughts, consciousness, etc. exist solely as chemical reactions, at least not today. I am here to examine how thoughts would interact with the world of the supernatural if those thoughts are not simply signal transduction mechanisms within that gelatinous gland in our head. The most common form of “supernatural” communication, which is practiced cross-culturally around the world, is prayer.…

    America’s First Zombie Experiments!

    As the general population’s love of zombies continues to grow I thought I’d post this interesting little article from out of my files for all those who are convinced that a zombie apocalypse is eminent. Not only does the article give a brief glimpse as to what the world of “science” was like at the turn of the century but it also provides some more weird clues as to how we may be truly headed for an undead disaster. Also, notice that when the creatures are brought back to life …they are angry …great. Doctor Discovers Secret of Life and Death The secret of life and the vital principle of…
